Audioengine 2 – $199

“Micro-Sized Computer Speakers ThatÂ Will Rock Your World”

They cost more than other computer speakers, but in return you have high-end sound.

The A2 speakers offer:

Clear mid-range vocals

soft silky highs

giant bass

We’ve been using a pair here around the office and at home for the past months and are continually blown away by their performance. Â Music is engrossing, sound stage is wide, vocal are clear. NeverÂ fatiguing. When plugged into a laptop for movie, dialog is clear andÂ explosions have thump.

Multiple Zeppelinâ€™s can be used to stream music to multiple rooms in a home or office, but the interface and features arenâ€™t very user friendly.The unit is very easy to set up, though some folks have had a bit of issue with the Wireless feature.Remember, the Zeppelin Air allows only 802.11g clients to connect to it. Make sure your router has that.
